We Don’t Speak the Same Around Everyone

Read this article [https://hbr.org/2019/11/the-costs-of-codeswitching] with me. We change the way we speak depending on who we're talking to. I think we can all agree on that. Some do it more than others, and some ethnicities HAVE to do it more than others, in order to try to avoid being stigmatised or stereotyped. I thought this was SUCH an interesting article about the Costs of Code-Switching and how we are impacted by it. This article focuses more on how Code-Switching affects black professionals in the US, and gives a really interesting view into a world that perhaps most of us are completely unaware of.

The Power of Looking Good - Conversation w/ Ruben Ramos

Conversación en inglés para practicar. This conversation features my friend and celebrity hairstylist / make up artist Ruben Ramos @theawakeningofstyle [https://www.instagram.com/theawakingofstyle/?hl=en] We talk about the importance of feeling good about yourself and how that impacts how you act upon the world, if beauty standards are getting away from us a bit, if botox and other procedures are a "slipper slope", and more. Ruben's English isn't perfect, and throughout our conversation im helping him with small corrections to make sure we don't reinforce any incorrect structures. I hope this conversation illustrates that your English doesn't have to be perfect to be able to get your point across, and it's more about choosing your words with purpose, and speaking at a pace that feels good to you.
